Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been sensationally criticised by Paul Merson for his poor finishing.

He explained to Sky Sports: “Liverpool are a bag of revels. Going forward they are phenomenal and Mohamed Salah has been outstanding. He's settled quicker than snow.

“People say 'why did Chelsea let him go' but he's a different player now. Certain players suit certain clubs - I think he's improved immensely, although I don't think he's the greatest finisher in the world.

“He's missed a lot of chances. He could have had even more goals to his name, but I love watching him.

“Brighton are tough to beat at home as Manchester City found out earlier this season, but Liverpool will find a way through.”

Paul Merson's Premier League predictions 2-3 December

PAUL MERSON has made his predictions ahead of the latest round of Premier League fixtures.

“Rafa Benitez had left Liverpool and there was the possibility of going to Inter with him. We were negotiating but things did not go the way we wanted. I already had the idea of leaving Liverpool.

“He was the manager who had bet on me when I did not know what to do at West Ham. When he left, I believed that it would not be the same and I needed to take a step forward.

“Negotiations with Inter did not progress and 15 days before the end of the transfer window Barcelona contacted me. I fought for that. It was not the best way to leave.

“I did not like it but it was my chance. A club like this is not going to come looking for you two years in a row. If you say no, they look for someone else. That's the reality. I fought for that and here I am.”
